The court officials were shocked, though since the Crown Prince has already been abolished, they clearly understood the situation. Now that Xiao Zhen stood in the court, and Your Majesty had pronounced it in his golden words, they naturally could no longer ask Your Majesty to withdraw the decree of establishing the Crown Prince.
Unless they wanted to offend Xiao Zhen, which would mean the end for their families in the Capital City.

Hence, the officials could only kneel and shout long live the Emperor, and in their shock, nothing else seemed appropriate to say.
